Once upon a time
Fairy tales were little stories
There was a mad dog
Prone to foaming saliva
Stale coffee dregs and tulips
His name was not Fang
Despite popular belief
It was Oliver Socket
Just to put the record straight
Give a dog a bad name, heh?
Eluard was once
Grinkel;
Wayne once was
Morrison,
and Wayne
became
Jayne.
Woke in satanic
Disarray
Head left lolling on carpet
Overflowing tumbril nearby
Recurring nightmare
More daytime television
Born on Bastille Day
Somehow inevitable
Both folks Irish Republicans
Marie Antoinette Dignam
How she hated cake
so did her parrot:
Madame Guillotine
